'- lApplication .fi1a November This inventionrelates to the manufacture of finger rings having settings or mountings for the display of precious ornamental stone'sand' has for its principal objects the expeditious production of a ring of this character which is cheap, attractive in appearance and adapted to effectively display a stone when mounted therein.

I am aware that it has heretofore been proposed to construct a ring by first forming a plain skeleton annulus from a flat strip or by casting the said annulus and then soldering thereto a mounting, and therefore I do not broadly claim herein such a ring or the method of making the same.

My invention is fully set forth in the following detailed description in which Figure 1 is a developed plan of the inside of a blank or annulus employed in making my. improved ring;

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a blank or annulus; and

Fig. 3 is a similar view of the completed ring; and

Fig. 4 is a plan view of the ring shown in Fig. 3.

Referring to the drawings and the construction shown therein, the reference numeral 1 designates a ring blank or annulus, the same being either cast in a single piece or preferably formed from a flat strip of suitable metal as gold, silver, white gold, platinum or the like. The reference numeral 2 designates the top portion thereof which is formed between the shoulders 3, 3-

and as shown, the top portion 2 is of an expanded construction having longitudinal marginal web members a and interconnecting web members I) and 0 respectively. Preferably the shoulders 3, 3 and the expanded top are simultaneously formed by stamping out a suitable blank rod or bar shown in Fig. 1, the strip so produced is bent into an annulus as shown in Fig. 2 and the abutting ends are soldered or welded together at the point designated by the let ter 6.

A suitable superstructure 4, including a I setting or mounting 5 of the desired configuration is applied to the annulus 1 by soldering the same on the top of the reticulated portion 2 intermediate the shoulders 3, 3' and, when a rare or ornamental stone is mounted in said mounting or setting, the light will enter the aperture f in the top of the setting of said superstructure through 18.21925.

the larger aperture (Z in the annulus without any "obstructionbeing offered to its passagetheret-hrough. N

While the aperture (Z in the center of the portion 2 is relatively restricted in area, it affords, together with the slots formed between the cross web Z) and c and marginal webs aample area for the passage of light through the portion 2 to the superstructure and particularly to the setting thereof, while at the same time no serious obstruction is offered to the removal of the ring from a finger of a wearer to which it is properly fitted.

The reticulated portion 2 is considerably wider than the shanks which connect it to the annulus 1 and also said portion 2is considerably thinner than such shanks, hence the same can be struck up from a strip of metal of uniform cross-section throughout its length.

As is evident from the foregoing, the 1 function of the reticulated portion 2 is to eliminate both the hollow fret work of the housing and the bottom of the setting so as to more effectively display a stone mounting in such setting and also the ornamental fret work of the housing, but at the same time by virtue of the construction of such reticulated portion there is a minimum of resistance offered to the movement of the ring on the finger.

While I have described a preferred embodiment of my invention, it is obvious that various modifications within the scope of the appended claims may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is: V
